In combination with a quality management system according to ISO 9001<\/strong>, this creates a strong signal to the market: This language service provider operates professionally, securely, and with consistently high quality.<\/em>

In the following, we show why ISO certification makes translation service providers sustainably more competitive \u2013 and how a specialist like LinquaCert<\/a> supports this journey.<\/p>\n You can reach us by phone at +41 44 552 66 17 or send an email to Mr. Markus Kukla<\/a>, Head of the Certification Body. We look forward to your valued inquiry!<\/p>\n ISO 17100<\/strong><\/a> is the international quality standard specifically for translation service providers. It defines requirements for areas including the following:ISO+2Linquacert+2<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Qualification of translators, auditors and project managers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Defined process steps from quotation to delivery<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Auditing according to the dual control principle<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Transparent communication with customers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Documentation and quality control<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This shows that a certified language service provider: Our processes are structured, controlled, and focused on quality \u2013 not left to chance.<\/em><\/p>\n With the increasing use of MT (machine translation), ISO 18587<\/strong> was developed. The standard describes requirements for: the process of full human post-editing<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n the qualification of post-editors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Consistency, comprehensibility and quality of the edited texts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Goal: The post-edited result should be indistinguishable from a purely human translation<\/strong>. For many clients - especially in regulated industries such as medicine, technology, law or financial services - ISO certification is now a decisive selection criterion.<\/p>\n With an ISO certificate, you signal:<\/p>\n Transparency:<\/strong> Processes, responsibilities, and quality assurance are clearly defined.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Transparency:<\/strong> Processes, responsibilities and quality assurance are clearly regulated.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Risk reduction:<\/strong> Errors, delays, and security incidents are minimized through structured processes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Especially in tenders and framework agreements, ISO certification often gives translation service providers access to lucrative projects in the first place \u2013 many large companies only accept certified providers.<\/p>\n \n n a tender process, multiple agencies with similar prices and references often compete side by side. A valid ISO certification can be the decisive differentiating factor<\/strong> here.<\/p>\n Advantages in the sales process:<\/p>\n Clear differentiation from \u201clow-cost providers\u201d<\/strong> without standardized quality assurance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stronger trust<\/strong> among new clients who have no long-term experience with you<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Proven quality<\/strong> instead of mere self-claims (\u201cwe work with high quality\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Many certified agencies report that after implementing ISO 17100, they achieve a higher success rate in proposals<\/strong> and, in the long term, more stable client relationships<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \n ISO certification is not just marketing \u2013 it also improves the internal organization<\/strong> of your company. ISO 17100 requires, among other things: Defined roles (translator, reviser, project manager)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Documented project processes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Standardised checklists and quality controls<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Structured selection and evaluation of external resources<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This leads to:<\/p>\n Less rework and correction loops<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Clear communication in the project team<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Better predictable lead times<\/strong> and realistic offers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Less dependence on individuals<\/strong>, as knowledge is anchored in the system<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n More efficient processes mean not only higher quality, but also better margins<\/strong> in the long term \u2013 a decisive competitive factor in a price-driven market.<\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n Customers increasingly expect language service providers to handle machine translation (MT)<\/strong> and AI tools responsibly. ISO 18587 provides a clear framework for this: MT is not a \u201eblack box\u201c process, but is integrated into the workflow.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Post-editors have verifiable competencies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Quality assurance and correction steps are defined.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n For clients, this means they can leverage the cost and speed advantages of MT<\/strong> without compromising on verified quality. For the translation service provider, this creates a strong argument:<\/p>\n \"We use AI efficiently \u2013 but according to clear, certified quality standards.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This is an important USP, especially in competition with purely mechanical \u201echeap offers\u201c.<\/p>\n \n As part of the certification process, topics such as data protection, confidentiality, and information security<\/strong> are also addressed \u2013 particularly in connection with ISO 17100 and optionally ISO 9001. This is crucial for industries handling sensitive data (e.g. life sciences, legal, finance). You can clearly communicate:<\/p>\n Confidential documents are processed according to defined rules<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Access is regulated, and data flows are documented<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Risks from insecure tools or workflows are minimized<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n In times of cyberattacks and strict data protection legislation, this is another argument why customers should for<\/strong> a certified and against<\/strong> choose a non-certified provider.<\/p>\n \n An ISO certification is a powerful lever for your marketing<\/strong> \u2013 especially if you actively use it. Many successful agencies prominently communicate their certificates on their website, in proposals, presentations, and social media.<\/a> Possible Measures:<\/p>\n Landing pages and blog articles<\/strong> on the importance of ISO 17100 \/ ISO 18587<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Case studies<\/strong> showing how certification has increased trust and revenue<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Integration of the ISO seal into:<\/p>\n Website header and footer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Proposal documents and pitch decks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Email signatures and PR communication<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This turns your certification from \u201ca document in a folder\u201d into an active sales and marketing tool<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Der Markt f\u00fcr \u00dcbersetzungen ist h\u00e4rter umk\u00e4mpft denn je: globale Konkurrenz, Preisdruck, KI-\u00dcbersetzung \u2013 und Kunden, die h\u00f6chste Qualit\u00e4t und Sicherheit erwarten.
